Internet & Information Services
Squire Sanders has advised clients in both the public and private sector regarding the appropriate regulatory treatment of the Internet generally and, in particular, the Internet and IP telephony. We have also been actively involved in assisting with the financing of, and negotiating contracts for, Internet services and Internet service providers.
Our clients include high profile, unregulated information and Internet service providers, as well as associations that have formed to further their interests. In the United States, our communications lawyers have counseled clients through all of the FCC’s proceedings that have addressed the rights, obligations and regulatory status of information and Internet service providers.
Elsewhere around the globe, we have addressed similar issues on behalf of multinational operators, as well as more client-specific matters such as the licensing of value-added service providers, access and interconnection.
